NAPSA Members:

Happy almost spring! I wanted to take some time to update you on the last few months of your board's activities. As you will see, there have been a number of exciting things happening and new initiatives starting. I invite you to contact me to learn more about anything in this letter or to join an effort that interests you.

On January 13-16, members of NAPSA's Board presented at the American Probation and Parole Association Winter Training Institute in Phoenix, AZ. This year, both at this conference and at the upcoming APPA July 28-31 training in Baltimore, MD, the staff and leadership of APPA have committed to providing their members with educational workshops on pretrial issues. As you'll see below, this partnership continues to bear fruit for both organizations and we are grateful for it.....

NAPSA Code of Ethics

The board reviewed the feedback received from the membership regarding the draft Code of Ethics.

They then re-drafted and approved a final Code of Ethics. The board is proud that NAPSA now has a formal Code of Ethics in place. Take a look and see what you think!
